Dr. Dobb's Digest: The Eclipse Platform
Eclipse is a powerful open source IDE built on top of a plug-in architecture and is used for building everything from enterprise-wide applications to embedded systems. Moreover, the Eclipse 3.0 release is a significant step forward, with its focus on the development of a Rich-Client Platform, UI responsiveness, an improved user experience, and tools that go beyond Java source files manipulation.

The Best of BYTE: Volume 3 - Number Crunching
Number crunching is to computing what speaking prose is to talking—we all do it and we all tend to take it for granted. So while the articles presented in this issue of the Best of BYTE are important and useful, they also make number crunching seem new and exciting—and rekindle the sense of amazement we all felt when we ran our first FORTRAN Fibonacci sequence program.

The Best of BYTE: Volume 2 - Heuristic Algorithms
No matter how good a given algorithm is, it can't deal with problems it wasn't designed to solve, nor can it handle subtle variations of a problem. An algorithm, unfortunately, can only provide solutions to specific problems. Heuristics can provide the capability to deal with the subtle variations in a problem, or to deal with a totally new problem, by devising a solution based on previous experience. The synergy of these dissimilar methods of problem solving can provide powerful new tools to practitioners of artificial intelligence. In this volume of Best of BYTE, we explore the emergence of some heuristic algorithms. Although we have only scratched the surface of this intriguing subject, we hope we've suggested the potential of the synthesis of heuristics and algorithms.

  • There's no question about it. AI Expert was the absolute best magazine covering the practical application of artificial intelligence technology. And in this ongoing series, we present articles that are the best of the best. From expert systems and fuzzy logic to Lisp programming and financial modeling, The Best of AI Expert is still the #1 source of information for articifical intellgence in practice.


    Lawrence Lessig is joined by advocates of the Open Source, Open Spectrum, Web Services, and standards worlds for a frank discussion on the future of innovation in a time when commercial and governmental interests are exercising their control over plumbing, software, content, and patent laws to impede competition.

    GLUE: Issue #1
    You donęt drive a nail with a sledgehammer, and not every programming problem requires the power of C++ or Java. Thatęs why ęGlue: The Journal of Lightweight & Scripting Languagesę focuses on the right tool for the right job. From Perl and Ruby to JavaScript and Python (and then some), ęGlueę is the only e-zine that examines the latest in lightweight languages and the most clever techniques for using them. Available exclusively as an e-zine.
